  • This Is the Us Master Pilot Scablist the Unionist's Edition
    THIS IS THE US MASTER PILOT SCABLIST THE UNIONIST’S EDITION A SCAB is A Person Who is Doing What You’d be Doing if You Weren’t on Strike. A SCAB takes your job, a Job he could not get under normal circumstances. He can only advance himself by taking advantage of labor disputes and walking over the backs of workers trying to maintain decent wages and working conditions. He helps management to destroy his and your profession, often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers. ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET! Below are brief notes about legal strikes by organized pilots. 1. Century Airlines 1932: Pilots struck to resist wage reduction by E.L Cord, the patron saint of Frank Lorenzo. 2. TWA 1946: Pilots struck over pay on faster 4 engine aircraft, limited by the provisions of Decision 83. 3. National Airlines 1948: Strike over aircraft safety and repeated violations of the labor contract. 4. Western Airlines 1958: Qualifications of the Flight Engineer.

Ferrante: Death of Eastern: How One Man Destroyed an Airline FORUM Joseph G. Ferrante In 1986, when Frank Lorenzo took over Eastern Airlines, the country's third largest carrier was in decline: its route structure was inherently weak, its costs were sky high, and its stiff-necked labor unions fought with each other almost as much as they fought management. To rnzmy in corporate America, Lorenzo seemed just the man to whip Eastern back into shape. Lorenzo, with the help of Michael Milken and Drexel Burnham Lambert 's junk bond machine, built his tiny Texas Air Corporation into an empire. Indeed, with the addition of Eastern to Continental, Frontier, and People Express airlmes, Lorenzo controlled the largest airline in the country, nylng more than a fifth of the nation's air passengers on his planes. Larenzo has been characterized as a ruthless empire builder, who uses a seemingly simple formula of slashing costs and offering lower fares.

  • Looking Back at 40 Years of Airline Deregulation
    Looking Back At 40 Years of Airline Deregulation The Top 35 Airline Start-Up Failures Since Deregulation This compendium is by no means a complete list of the attempts at starting new airlines since 1978, but includes the ones that represent what was often the pinnacle of bad planning, inept management, and business plans that might have fared better in a landfill. Here’s a somewhat iconoclastic and irreverent review of start-up airlines that now sleep with the fishes. Access Air An airline that tried to be all things to too many places. Got investment from business entities in Des Moines, Moline/Quad Cities, and Peoria, all of which thought that Access Air would bring low fares high levels of service and employment at each one... A reservations center here... a hangar there... administrative offices someplace else. Everybody can get a piece of the pie. In their promotional materials, Access Air claimed it would avoid getting squashed by incumbent “elephants” in the airline industry. They were accurate – no other airline wanted anything to do with what Access Air was planning. They preferred reality. The operational play was to “hopscotch” 737s across the country, borrowing a term and model from a long-gone system used by Piedmont. The plane would start in the east, and stop six or seven places on its odyssey to the West Coast, picking up and dropping off passengers all along the way. Sort of like a transcon milk run. Or, the 7th Avenue subway gone national. Seems not many consumers wanted to play hopscotch. It had too few airplanes to deliver on its intentions, and worse, too little frequency to make a dent in the market.

Yet across much of America, the air transport system is breaking down as the few surviving airlines simultaneously jack up fares and slash service. This means citizens can’t get where they need to go. And it means large and vibrant cities – including St.

  • Wright Brothers, Aviation Pioneers, Modern Aviation, Air Power and Space
    Introduction As part of the commemoration of the Centennial of Flight, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places and Regional Offices, in partnership with Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, United States Air Force, U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO), proudly invite you to explore Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms. Much of America’s 20th-century history is inextricably linked to aviation. America's rise to preeminence in aviation was accomplished through the astonishing achievements of men and women in both the public and private sectors. The pioneers of America’s aviation industry built the technological and industrial infrastructure that enabled aviation to succeed, while the exploits of daring flying heroes captured the public imagination and encouraged the support of aviation. The Federal government supported the development of military aviation, conducted important aeronautical research, and established, regulated, and encouraged the development of interstate passenger, postal, and freight commerce. In celebration of a century of flight, this travel itinerary highlights more than 100 listings in the National Register of Historic Places--historic aircraft, airfields, research and testing facilities, aeronautical and engineering research laboratories, military installations, battle sites, launch and control facilities--that tell the stories of the significant people and events that made the United States the world’s leader in aviation. The American public had a fascination with aviation throughout the 20th century. Aerial combat in the First World War established heroes such as Lt. Edward Rickenbacker, "Ace of Aces" and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
